Wherein is Clearly Revealed Their Nobility and Superiority to Men

by Moderata Fonte
Translated by Virginia Cox
Directed by Jay Stern in collaboration with Laura Caparrotti
Presented by Kairos Italy Theater (Casa Italiana company in residence)

Kairos Italy Theater gives the US premiere of The Worth of Women by Venetian writer and poet Moderata Fonte, a 16th-century advocate of gender equality. Radical and witty, this work depicts conversations among seven diverse Venetian noblewomen, exploring women’s roles in public and private, femininity and ambition, men’s hostility, and possible remedies.
